Q: DVI PCI Card/s for G3 Minitower
I am a new member of this forum, and hope that someone has the answersI need. I have a Power Macintosh G3 Beige Minitower @ 333 MHz, and I am running OS 8.5.1. There is a reason I have to stay with OS 8.5.1.
I am wanting to know if there is a Dual-DVI PCI card that will work in this machine so I can run two monitors via DVI in order to get higher resolution than is available with VGA. My understanding is that VGA maxes out at 1280 x 1024, and I need just a little bit more.
If there isn’t a Dual-DVI card available that will work with my setup, how about two single DVI cards? If, by chance, both ways are available, which would be better, and also . . . can two monitors run off of the PCI cards without involving the regular factory monitor port. If the factory port has to be used, is there an adapter (or adapter cable) from it to DVI.
I know this is several questions, but getting them out here in my first post may save some back and forth.
Thanks for any help, Tom
